Hi I have a small issue with the script you sent. I don't have any
experience with python so I sent you the line with which I called the script
and what response I got.
I suppose that it has something to do with escaping characters. How should I
have called the script in the example bellow.
D:\repository porting>python cldmpReplace.py dump
file:///tmav351x.tmav.ww011.siemens.net/did94044/IIP_CDS/Projects/PC_Tools/grADI/SVN_REPOSITORYsvn://tma0008s
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "cldmpReplace.py", line 317, in <module>
main()
File "cldmpReplace.py", line 110, in main
linesOutput = processSection(linesQueue, lineNum, stringOld, stringNew)
File "cldmpReplace.py", line 189, in processSection
linesProps = processPropLines(linesProps, lineNum, stringOld, stringNew)
File "cldmpReplace.py", line 226, in processPropLines
linesProps[valueByteCountLineIndex] = "V " + "%s\n" % valueByteCountNew
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'valueByteCountLineIndex' referenced
before assignment
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Robert.
